Through our school, our department is able to provide students their own set of dance shoes. A issue that I noticed is students would not remember to bring their shoes to class or lose them at home. Several of our students do not have stable housing situations and often have trouble keeping track of their items. With 76 students I began to brainstorm what could be a potential solution to support students being prepared in the classroom. Providing individualized storage for each student's pair of shoes allows students to be responsible for their items in a safe and secure space.
